Default Re: Model T rear axle nut

Actually the correct torque is: stop just before something breaks or strips.
I have found model T, and later car owners, who insisted that you just tighten the nut until there is no play between the drum hub and the axle.
They obviously don’t understand the setup. You are not adjusting play on a bearing.
